Donley, J.

—The matter in controversy in this case is less ‍‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‍than $100. The issuing of the writ and the service thereof on the defendant gave the justice of ‍‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‍the peace, who •tried the cause, jurisdiction.

*159It is believed that the judgment of the justice was erroneous. The appellant ‍‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‍might have corrected this error by certiorari from the District Court.

That an injunction was not the remedy, is believed to have ‍‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‍been settled by this court in the case of Fitzhugh v. Orton, 12 Tex., 5; Smith v. Ryan, 20 ‍‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‍Id., 664; Rotzein v. Cox, 22 Tex., 65. The judgment is

Affirmed.
